You can expect to meet some very keen Wikimedians, and complete newbies are also welcome, as is anyone interested in finding out more about Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. We typically chat about goings-on in the Wiki-verse and life in general, and sometimes will work together on some editing. If you have suggestions for topics, please add them below.

Note that we're using video conferencing, but there's no obligation to have your camera on if you prefer not to show your face. Or indeed your microphone: some people do just come along and listen in.

Feel free to join from anywhere you may be, in the UK or elsewhere! And please invite any Wikimedia people you know (or have had wiki dealings with) who might be interested – spread the word!

• The clock change reminded me of a question: is William Willett, the driving force behind British Summer Time, really the great-great-grandfather of Coldplay singer Chris Martin as our article asserts? This fact has been endlessly repeated, but I'm worried that it could be a case of citogenesis. Any help in researching would be appreciated! the wub "?!" 09:40, 29 March 2023 (UTC) reply
